	TROLLEY: The Cars That Built Our Cities - Narration Script (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Cars continue to round curves at the same speed as the cable, a breathtaking nine miles per hour.

		Most cities required the trolley operators to perform some or all of the street maintenance along their routes as a condition of using the public thoroughfares.

		One such car, 'Number 8', was placed in service again; not as a means of transportation, but rather, as a kitchen of the Hampton Diner, which was located next to the Bib and Crib store on Lafayette Road.

	Trolley problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The trolley problem is a thought experiment in ethics, first introduced by Philippa Foot, but also extensively analysed by Judith Jarvis Thomson and, more recently, by Peter Unger.
		On the other hand, Thomson argues that an essential difference between the original trolley problem and this version with the fat man, is that in the first case, you merely deflect the harm, whereas in the second case, you have to do something to the fat man to save the five.
		The only difference between this case and the original trolley problem is that an extra piece of track has been added, which seems a trivial difference (especially since the trolley won't travel down it anyway).

	Trolley Car -- game by Rick Heli
		Trolley Car is a game for 2-6 players in which two trolley lines compete to be the first to cross contested intersections.
		The players speed them along by trying to be the first to get rid of their trolley cars (cards).
		This means that the other line does not place a trolley card at the intersection and in addition, the rank, though not the color, of the car which was placed in the intersection becomes the rank for the line which reaches the intersection second.
